GNET: an Archive and Electronic Journal
Toward a *Truly* Global Network
Computer-mediated communication networks are growing rapidly, yet
they are not truly global -- they are concentrated in affluent
parts of North America, Western Europe, and parts of Asia.
GNET is an archive/journal for documents pertaining to the effort
to bring the net to lesser-developed nations and the poorer parts
of developed nations. (Net access is better in many "third
world" schools than in South-Central Los Angeles). GNET consists
of two parts, an archive directory and a moderated discussion.
Archived documents are available by anonymous ftp from the
directory global_net at dhvx20.csudh.edu (155.135.1.1). To
conserve bandwidth, the archive contains an abstract of each
document, as well as the full document. (Those without ftp
access can contact me for instructions on mail-based retrieval).
In addition to the archive, there is a moderated GNET discussion
list. The list is limited to discussion of the documents in the
archive. It is hoped that document authors will follow this
discussion, and update their documents accordingly. If this
happens, the archive will become a dynamic journal. Monthly
mailings will list new papers added to the archive.
We wish broad participation, with papers from nuts-and-bolts to
visionary. Suitable topics include, but are not restricted to:
descriptions of networks and projects
host and user hardware and software
connection options and protocols
current and proposed applications
education using the global net
user and system administrator training
social, political or spriritual impact
economic and environmental impact
politics and funding
free speech, security and privacy
directories of people and resources
To submit a document to the archive or subscribe to the moderated
discussion list, use the address gnet_request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
